Easy Use
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the straightforward format. We use it for both reporting incidents as well as searching people in the system. I like the ability to comment on other incidents and have them as "pending" so that we can see what each other is working on.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes complicated to see all of the information and it can be a bit overwhelming to have tickets popping in and out, especially when someone is just saying "thank you." That's not necessarily something that Freshservice can do anything about, but there is a slight lack of organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to report incidents as well as find students in the school when they call with questions about password resets, etc. We mostly use it to take down phone calls and receive emails pertaining to IT questions.
Easy to do.
What do you like best about the product?
The whole team has a good knowledge and mastery of the tool.
They always answer fast and are very accurate in their answers.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far it has been pretty satisfying every time I needed the support and the tool itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
New integrations with new portals.
Each portal is separately for each company

Clear all doubts with the team before, and fast dominate the knowledge.
Best way to keep you inventory organised
What do you like best about the product?
It is really simple to use. You just need to install a tiny module on your computer and the asset becomes automatically discoverable on your inventory.
From there you can add any other extra information but the basics will already be there. You can know at all times the status of that machine, the OS and SW it has installed without you needing to add that information manually.
Also, their support team is great helping you out when you have a question.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it to have some security measures like resetting the computer to factory settings remotely in case of a theft.
It would be really useful to be able to do so to prevent others from accessing any sensitive data that can be stored on the machine. It's true though, that there are other systems to make this happen and that this tool, as we use it, serves it purpose of keeping our assets inventory organised.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are keeping our company's hardware organised and it really helps to have everything in one place that easily.
You can also check what SW is getting outdated on the machines and why that particular machine is getting slower by keeping track of everything that it has installed in it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly recommend this tool to every company that wants to keep its assets organised in just one platform.
They can be meaningfully grouped so that they are easy to find and to manage.

Simple Modern ITIL
What do you like best about the product?
FreshService has a very simple but yet powerful interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search function can get clunky as it does not follow similar rules to google in terms of quotes and requires modifiers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to have quantifiable data to show to senior management on how many incidents and problems are solved each month along with getting people outside our department to easily review and approve changes when they affect their department has really improved our communication around changes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a simple modern take on ITIL that works great for a small team where many people ware lots of hats, then it's great and is a hosted product that allows it to continue to work even if on-prem resources are down.
it is great for small and mid market and fare enough to the big market
What do you like best about the product?
as per my primary read of the tool and the provided support from the fresh service team, I can really assure that the tool is working in a good way to provide better solution as ITSM, I encourage the developers team to keep update the tool to meet with ITIL 100%.
What do you dislike about the product?
currently I don't face any issue with the tool, I am using it from short time back, and support team are clarifying/solving issues always
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Incident management, I found that cloud could handle same as on premises
Fast response time, easy to setup, and easily integrates!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how fast their support team is able to respond and answer my questions for anything that I have. I also love how customize-able FreshService is, specifically with the form fields and Workflow Automator to automate various different requests that come in from our end users!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not the biggest fan on there being a lack of an apparent license tracking feature. This would make a great addition to FreshService if we could enter in various different information about licenses for software!
Personally, I'm also not a fan of the bright white color scheme. I'd love an integrated dark mode feature!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving the problems of my company of having an actual ticketing system in place at my company, increasing efficiency with automating our workflow, creating accountability for ticket completions with SLA agreements, creating an front-facing request board through the Service Catalog, and a history log for previously completed tasks on various different devices.
Freshservice is very user friendly and easy to use for a novice
What do you like best about the product?
tickets dashboard gives the realistic diagramatic picture of the ticket status.
What do you dislike about the product?
i am not sure if freshservice has the feature I am requesting below, didn't have time to explore on this, but if it has this feature it will be really helfpul.
Currently there is no status called 'Resolved' . It would be good if we have 'Resolved' status which means the issue is resolved and once the user verifies it, this can be closed.
also, tickets in resolved status for a period of 2 to 3 days should automatically marked as closed if the user forgets to close the ticket.

For my job role, Freshservice is serving the purpose I need for.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Can be definitely recommended and effective to use.
Overall good experience
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy to start designing and using
What do you dislike about the product?
For detailed processing of tickets, it's not as mature that I would expect. Software management tool is not mature yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can no separate our tickets from incidents and service requests. We also now are able to use an asset database and start building our CMDB and build our depository for all of our change requests to better assist our customers but also maintain our environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great, easy out of the box implementation for a small or medium size business.
A fresh solution to old problems
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to filter tickets, easy to merge tickets related to the same issue, easy to forward tickets to another team or individual.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extremely tight control over who can add a "canned response". I understand that canned responses for _everyone_ to see should be tightly limited in a group as large as ours, but I should be able to have my own library of canned responses that I use frequently, rather than having to send them to an Admin and wait for them to add them - even if I'm the only person who will ever use them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to track help requests that come in to a variety of specific email accounts. Tickets are routed to teams based on the email address the request was sent to, but they can be reassigned if necessary.
Very Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I Like the fact that our entire team can view an organized library of all of our assets both in the field and in reserve. and they can pull up any information about them like software installed reliance etc to assist in solving their service tickets. I can login and see the overview of tickets and also check what the last auddit daate was on all the PCs deployed through the warehouse
What do you dislike about the product?
some of the features are lacking or I can't figure out how to utilize them the way we need.
ie a better way of cataloging software and registration serial numbers, links to renew, etc.
more intuitive way of submitting tickets for your equipment. Maybe add a way to screen share directly from the helpdesk, or file share, or send notifications to users on their desktop, i.e. please logout of .... back up starting in 10min or notify of planned server downtime via popup from freash service tray app

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
all assets now have details stored for them that we can pull up vs. starting from scratch every time we had a service request before.
before unless the tech had his own note book with computer details he had to sit down and figure out what versions were installed what the serial numbers were what drivers were needed who uses the computer etc. Now the tech can prep before interupting the work station flow, he can look through installed software find drivers needed before the service call starts. also its good for tracking exteneded warrenties, planned matenance, static Ip addresses, as well as service history
